Duo Sorolla

About the Artist

Duo Sorolla has been captivating audiences for over a decade, bringing together new and exciting works alongside the great masterworks and rediscovering lesser known pieces for cello and piano. Duo Sorolla has interpreted a wide range of music including most of the standard repertoire for cello and piano, as well as neglected works, especially music by women and composers of color. Duo Sorolla’s recitals bring together varied works that explore new and traditional approaches to expression, and the Duo enjoys guiding audiences along each program’s unique journey. Over the past several seasons, Duo Sorolla has commissioned and premiered works from William Weigel, Aaron Malone, Larry Nelson, and Mark Hagerty. Apart from these special projects, they have also championed the works of Lera Auerbach, George Walker, Ying-Chen Kao, and Aaron Jay Kernis, and are keen to work with and promote the works of other living composers, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Dr. Gomes and Dr. Su studied much of the duo repertoire under the tutelage of Colin Carr, Tom Sauer, Michael Kannen, and other distinguished artists.
